Freaks Exhibition 2010
In December 2010 I exhibited with 35 artists from around Europe. “This exhibition displays 35 artist’s from around Europe and their visions of what happens when we peer behind the curtain and see the glitches in the makeup of our reality. ” – Tom G Adriani (curator).
The work that I created for the show was a continuation of my fascination with dolls, and how dolls are usually representations of perfection. My dolls are anything but perfect, each face is taken from the same mould and distorted in a different way. My work was shown in a dilapidated domestic setting. What appeared to have once been a comfortable living room, had now been stripped back exposing a sewage pipe that runs directly through the centre of the space. The tearing away of the surface layers of normality and comfort exposes the realities of life and human nature.
